The scale of the problem - and the burden it puts on the Health Service - will pile pressure on Gordon Brown to radically overhaul the controversial Licensing Act. "
'Labour knew best - again!" - Against a background of rising alcohol problems, they liberalised licensing laws, have reduced criminal penalties - usually through manipulation of judicial guidelines - and have allowed the lamentable numbers of police on the streets to fall even further.
Their only solution is to 'raise taxation levels' on alcohol. They never target the guilty but simply use tactics which will hit everybody.
And look what a mess they made with their silly, liberal, cannabis legislation!
